So yesterday I lost a bowl. There was one less in the cupboard than there should've been. Thoroughly confused, I asked Magpie if she knew what had become of my wayward dinnerware, and she told me a story.

That morning, she said, she'd gotten up and prepared her breakfast. We bought her Cheerios on one of our recent shopping trips, because they were on sale. Well, Magpie thoroughly enjoys Cheerios, and yesterday morning she got up and poured herself a bowl. Apparently she was so excited that she was actually walking around the apartment singing 'Cheerios! Cheerios!'

And then she discovered our lack of milk. Disheartened, she stored the bowl of Cheerios in a different cupboard, next to the box.

For the record, I actually went out at midnight to get more milk and thus avoid a repeat of this nightmare scenario, but that's not the point of this thread.

I was still asleep at the time, but I can picture clearly in my head her walking around the apartment singing. It's an almost unbearably cute image, and it's so thoroughly, genuinely her.

And so the thread. I want to hear from my fellow Domesticated TFP folks. What sorts of things does your SO do? I'm looking for the types of things that make you smile just thinking of them.

Ready?

GO!
